(I haven't made such a report before - if there are procedural issues, do bear with me!) Earlier this year, User:Xanderliptak was banned following a discuss on ANI; a user with whom I have interacted before, but not in any particularly meaningful way, nor was involved in the least with the ban. I have considerable suspicion that the above mentioned User:Η936631 is the same person, although as we know there could be a possibility they aren't related, for the following reasons:

I would welcome any input from more experienced users in this area because of my novelty in this area. Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 21:03, 9 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Oh, the discussion wasn't for a full community ban. I'm not sure what position that leaves us in (not acknowledging "his" (as the case may be) former account could be a problem, no?. Help, please? Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 21:37, 9 March 2011 (UTC) reply

This seems fairly obvious. Xanderliptak was originally banned by the community, with a set of restrictions imposed should he seek an unblock. A similar situation obtained on Commons.

This user is uploading multiple images by the same person, importing them from a blog which imposes licencing constraints incompatible with Wikipedia policy, particularly WP:WATERMARK, a bugaboo of Xanderliptak; he felt his signature should remain on all work and the licencing he forces on his blog indicates the same.

He has socked around his block before, and I only just happened to notice the addition of a Xanderliptak file on a page I hadn't removed from my watchlist. CU is needed, perhaps an underlying IP can be hardblocked. → ROUX 06:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Dammit. Wish I'd seen the edits a few days earlier then. So what do we do? Block per the overwhelming sound of ducks? Ignore the fact that he's socking (again) around a community ban? →  ROUX   17:59, 13 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Question: User:173.24.117.126 is an acknowledged IP that Liptak has used while logged out. Does this help? →  ROUX   20:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC) reply

The accounts in the archive are  Stale, but this user is using the same ISP that I checked last time. There are no other sleepers, but there is other activity on the range, so I'm a little hesitant about IP blocking. TN X Man 14:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC) reply
